Otto D. Upton was the 'right age' to register for draft for World War I and World War II. 

WWI Draft Registration

Otto's WWI Draft Registration is significant as it lists his date and place of birth - 31 May 1890 - Garland, PA.  In June of 1917 Otto lived in Cherry Grove, OR with his 'wife and child'.   He is listed as a farmer - medium height and build with blue eyes and dark hair.

WWII Draft Registration

Twenty-five years later (1942) Otto Upton registered as part of the "Old Man's Draft" during WWII. His birth date has changed to 1892 - he signs his full name.  And he is missing part of his right ear.
